Tim Ablitt

Tim Ablitt was appointed Chairman of the English Defence League (EDL) in October 2013 after Tommy Robinson stood down. Ablitt, of Poole, Dorset, had previously been organiser of the South West England branch of the EDL. He was arrested in July 2010, along with five other EDL members, over a suspected bomb plot on a Bournemouth mosque and released without charge. Ablitt was involved in an unsuccessful bid to merge the EDL and the British Freedom Party.
